I'm not really going to bother with this except treat it with the contempt that it deserves. I think the real reason why so many Wasps players are being mentioned is down to the fact that the Coaching team has worked with these players for a long time when at Wasps.
If there is such an English Union bias, why are we running with a Scottish head coach with a Kiwi, a Welshman and a Rugby League northerner in tow? If they pick a squad heavy with Englishmen, its the coaches you should blame and the coaches alone. And knowing Geechs and Gatland, they are not people to be swayed by fickle media opinion.
And that media opinion isn't all swaying behind English players and its completely unfair to bash the English pundits. Take Mick Cleary for example and see who he has spotlighted to play at wing: Shane Williams? Rob Kearney? Keith Earls? Tommy Bowe?
English bias generally? Come off it...
